Stand with Patrick's Family in Their Struggle

Hey you guys our friends and people of the loving walker county community, I’m (Patrick Lawson) starting this fundraiser for my wife and family in the past couple of months we have been through hell and if I was a single man I wouldn’t be asking for your help but I have an amazing hard working wife and two beautiful straight a student athletes. It all started back in February when I lost my job from the coal mines, that was hit number one. Then just a week or so later our yard caught fire not sure how but it did and it burnt my boat, her late daddy’s 73 Chevy pickup and several other things that happened to be in the yard at that time the kids bikes and shooters the kids baseball and softball equipment luckily it didn’t get the house. It burnt all the underpending the back porch and some of the front porch. I didn’t realize that it had melted the wires under the house until it was too late. Because about 3 days after the yard bury we come home to the trailer basically nothing but the metal left! Some of you guys may have noticed it looks as though we our living out of the Jeep, we basically are! Back and forth to her mom’s river house all the way down by lock 17 every night! We didn’t have insurance on anything so this is a complete loss all of this and I’m struggling to find a job still so she is raising a family on just her income! This is putting such a strain on everything we have worked so hard to get in life! Now we are struggling to keep what little we have left! But through all the bad some good has come. Lindsay’s boss has offered us a place to stay as long as we get it back to livable conditions which is going to be a lot of work but we are more than willing to do the work but the money to pay the to have the power and water cut on plus her jeep is falling behind in payments I’m just asking and y’all know we are hurting if I’m asking because I’ve always had too much pride but life has humbled me and has me on my knees begging that if anyone who sees this post could open their hearts and unfortunately their wallets and help us out! Lindsay will be mad about me posting this but until I find gameful employment there is nothing I have left to do but to turn to you guys and ask please help us with anything you may have to offer!

Thanks in advance and we love y’all

Patrick(Pat) Lawson
